    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    I'm keeping track of parts, prices, and sources that I keep in a Google Sheet along with a few photos that I've taken here and there along the way on Drive as a build diary/log of sorts. Was mindlessly watching the idiot box last night flipping back and forth between the playoffs and a "car tv"...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    I don't disagree on the pilot jets, used to race TZ250's way back in the day and I've changed more that a few out tuning the bike. Safety wire went thru the new pilots that came in the crappy kit with plenty of room. When I get back to CA closer to the holidays I'll shoot some photos for...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    I took the brass bristle brush to them, as well as a thin piece of safety wire to try to run it thru bottom to top. The top of the pilot where there should be a hole is plugged by brass, not plugged by crap. Sad to see sudco go away, used to do a lot of biz with them back in the 90s

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    Ignored the game plan list above, and brute forced it for a sec. I was at the store and I grabbed a new can of starting fluid, this one with a long straw on the nozzle to get past the bellows and the opened butterflies. Filled the carb float bowls again from the remote gas bottle till the clear...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    It's been awhile since an update. Carbs took *a lot of work* to disassemble, clean in the dip bucket, scrub, clean in gas, scrub, blow out passageways with compressed air, scrub some more, reassemble, and finally got them back on the bike yesterday afternoon. I had to use the heat gun to soften...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    non GS content: One of my other projects is a 74 GT-750 Lemans that I'm customizing "soon". While it was semi original when I bought it, it was rough and wasn't near enough to consider restoring but I'm not cutting it up either to cafe it or something like that. I put 92 GSXR USD forks with...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    bike looked "period correct" when I saw it with 2 flats. But once those covers, the seat, and the tank came off I got the bad news. Nah, I shouldn't say that, it's just *so* dirty and oily. But it's also 42 years old and has a questionable past. Spotted a couple of things on the cam end caps...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    that's the kind of patina that we don't like! can't believe that I forgot almost 6 hours of work - someone in the bikes past life had filled both tires with fix-a-flat and then just left it all in there. What-a-mess. Big puddle of green goo rolling around in the back tire when I pulled it from...

    82 GS1100G "patina mod"

    We have resto mod, pro street - I'm going with patina mod. No painting, limited polishing, rust removal, a lot of WD-40 t to lift the crud, and cleaning as much of the deep crud off the bike as I can so that it wears a clean patina shine. Let it show it's age So far - forks rebuilt, dead R/R...

    He's back, and with another 1100G

    doesn't look bad, but it's getting replaced anyway. Recall threads in here about that spline That was 5hrs I'll never get back. Recall the guy at the repair shop saying the front tire was full of fix-a-flat, and that it took him a few to get the bead cleaned up. Imagine my surprise.... What...
